vomiting in car

Choupinet is 7 months old now. When he travels by car, he vomits. I tried every seat of the car. It is the same thing. Whatever the length of the travel, he vomits.
When I came back from my Spring holidays in Normandy, I didn't feed him. So, he didn't vomit. Is it the only solution ? Can you help me ?

I have a ford Mondéo. He travels on our knees, not in a varykennel. He puts his head on my mum's arm and doesn't move. But about a quarter of an hour later, he's sick... We often travel by car and I am worried for my poor little boy !
Thank you for your answer. I wish he could be better soon !

We never feed our dogs if they are going to be in the car for more than maybe 1/2 to 1 hour. There are a couple that still have a problem once in a while; we have found that covering their crate with a couple towels so they can't see out helps.

I would also suggest not carrying him on your knees if you can avoid it. If you have an accident, he becomes a projectile or, worse yet, he is between you and an airbag going off. Think of him just like a child. No matter how short a distance we go, our dogs are in a crate in the back.
